After 35 games of football we came down to the big one. Game 36 – The 2024 Amsterdam Sixes Cup Final.

The two teams set to do battle were Humble Goats and FC NoeNoe. Humble Goats were no stranger to Cup Finals in our events as this was their fourth appearance. Twice they had tasted success at the Amsterdam Sevens (2022 & 2023) but they had experienced defeat at this same stage of the 2022 Amsterdam Sixes so were looking to take add their first Sixes trophy to their growing cabinet and list of honours.

Let's have a look at the two team's record to preview the action:

From the opening whistle, the atmosphere was electric as both teams sought to claim the coveted title. FC NoeNoe, who had emerged as the tournament's top scorers, struck first. Aryan Janatgol capitalized on a defensive lapse to put FC NoeNoe ahead, displaying the clinical finishing that had seen them net 18 goals in 6 games before this final.

The Humble Goats, known for their rock-solid defence with only one goal conceded prior to the final, responded with determination. Their efforts paid off when Raphael Olivero Hernandez found the equalizer, demonstrating why the team had remained unbeaten in their last 12 matches since the 2023 Amsterdam Sixes Cup Semi-Final. The game took a dramatic turn when Jeremy Freyne, one of the Goats' top scorers, won a penalty. With the weight of expectation on his shoulders, Freyne calmly converted the spot-kick to give the Goats a 2-1 lead. However, FC NoeNoe, unbeaten and resilient, levelled the score just before halftime through their talismanic forward Haroun Kamarkheyl. The first half ended in a 2-2 deadlock, setting the stage for a tense second half.

As the second half commenced, both teams knew the next goal could be decisive. Kamarkheyl, continuing his phenomenal form, struck again to put FC NoeNoe ahead 3-2. The goal showcased why he was the tournament's top scorer with 10 goals, his skill and precision proving too much for the Humble Goats' defence.

With time running out, the Humble Goats threw caution to the wind, pushing their goalkeeper forward in a desperate bid to equalize. This risky strategy backfired when Munib Ur Rahman intercepted a loose ball and calmly slotted into an empty net, sealing the game at 4-2. Despite the Goats' relentless pressure and several close attempts, FC NoeNoe held their opponents at bay.

We offer our consolations to Humble Goats who were absolutely superb on the day (yet again) and put in a stunning effort. They can be very proud of their efforts and can consider themselves unlucky that with just 1 defeat in 13 games in 2024 they haven't picked up a title this year. I am sure 2025 can not come soon enough for them to put that right.

Our congratulations go to FC NoeNoe – 2024 Amsterdam Sixes Champions! It was a great victory and a sensational way for them to announce themselves on the eurofootballfives.com scene. They were worthy winners and we invite them back next year to defend their title.

Thank you to all the teams who competed – it was a fantastic day. We hope to see you all again at another eurofootballfives.com tournament very soon.
